For this you want portsclean(8) "-D" argument.  Prunes out
unused/unneeded distfiles.

There's probably a way to do it with rsync based on date or whatnot; but
it gets tricky.  Every iteration of your sync script will bring back
what you prune out.

  Q. ports/distfiles contains tarballs of multiple versions of each 
  software; I assume that I only need one version of each tarball. 
  And since this mirror as described comes to ~100GiB, how can I modify
  my rsync filter so I don't get anything more than either the latest
  tarball for each software package in distfiles or whichever version
   accords to the Makefiles provided by ports.tgz
